I'm surprised he did not mention that among his many talents, Bach
was a piano salesman. salesperson.

When Donald Grout visited my college when I was a student, someone
asked him about playing Bach on a piano. His answer: if it is worth
doing it is worth doing badly.
That still cracks me

sorry, but I want to inform Arthur about the problem he is having with
his email, and when I did send him something yesterday, the server
refused it again, of course.

I recently tuned my 72cm 13-course down to a tone below 415 (with strings
intended for 392, so half a tone lower than that) and it really came to
life. Could it be the lower tension strings (now around 3.5 on the top
course, basses around 2.5,
Oops.
I'm convinced that low tension is the way to go. I tune my 11c to 392. You
can hear it here: www.songoftherose.co.uk - click on baroque lute.

Dear Nigel,
Big ditto.
I have a theory that we are all tuning our baroque lutes at too high a pitch
standard. If a 10c renaissance lute with 70-73cm string length would be
an E lute, *which is A=370*, why should a baroque lute with this string
length be tuned an *entire TONE* higher at 415?
Low tension, especially for lutes in the new tunings from the early 17thC has
been discussed fairly recently on this list (see archives). The preponderance
of evidence for the little finger close/on/behind the bridge at this time may
suggest a relatively low tension (so low, it can even be
Dear Manolo, and Albert and others,
I am sorry about the difficulties. I do not have a filter on anyone in
this group. I always enjoy hearing from readers of these lute lists, and
find it embarrassing that anyone might falsely get a message saying I
refused to accept their e-mail.

Indeed - this is what I meant. I am not using *less* tension than at 415,
but rather I have a new set of strings that reproduce the same tension at a
lower pitch. That said, I think lower tensions in general work better for
the solo repertoire.
Incidentally, pitch as such isn't the crucial

My French ensemble performs often at 370, this includes specially
made keyboards, winds and strings, plus large lutes at 370, which can
be considered french pitch along with super low pitch of ~340.
Good evidence for both pitches from historical keyboard instruments,
but other pitches must have
Right on right on. Got the 68 tune'd to Eb and I still get lots of
